The Team of the Year promotion always delivers the most powerful cards in the cycle, but the 95-rated Claudia Pina item might just be the most broken card we have seen yet. After testing her extensively in-game, the verdict is clear. This card is not just good. She is absolutely disgusting in the best way possible.
Here is our review of the TOTY Claudia Pina SBC.
Player Profile and Statistics
EA Sports has given this card a massive upgrade that transforms her into a complete offensive threat. The standout change is the upgrade to 5-Star Skill Moves and 5-Star Weak Foot. This combination alone makes her unpredictable in the final third, allowing you to turn and shoot from any angle.
Her base stats are incredible:
- Pace: 90
- Shooting: 95
- Passing: 92
- Dribbling: 93
- Physicality: 86
Standing at 5’3″ (160cm) with a Controlled AcceleRATE type, she fits the meta perfectly for players who rely on agility and quick turns inside the box.
Best Chemistry Style
You generally have two top-tier options for this card depending on your playstyle.
1. Engine (Recommended) For most players, the Engine chemistry style is the way to go. This card possesses the 
Finesse Shot+ PlayStyle, meaning you want her to be as responsive as possible to drift into space and curl shots into the top corner. The Engine style boosts her balance and dribbling to near-perfect levels, making her feel incredibly fluid on the ball.
2. Hunter If you are less concerned with ultra-responsive left-stick dribbling and simply want to maximize her output, the Hunter is a valid choice. It maxes out her Pace and gives a slight boost to her already elite Shooting.
In-Game Performance
Dribbling and Movement
The comparison that comes to mind when using TOTY Pina is a maxed-out Pro Clubs character. She is incredibly nimble. While physical strikers like Haaland have their place, they often lack the ability to weave through tight defenses. Pina does not have that problem. Her low center of gravity combined with 93 Dribbling allows her to maneuver out of impossible situations.
Shooting and PlayStyles
The combination of PlayStyles on this card is lethal, giving her elite finishing options from anywhere around the box. She comes equipped with:
Finesse Shot+
Low Driven Shot+
Tiki Taka+- Technical
- First Touch
- Rapid
The duo of Finesse Shot+ and Low Driven Shot+ makes her a nightmare for goalkeepers. You can drift wide to curl one in from distance or drill a powerful low shot across the goal when inside the box. With 95 Shot Power and 95 Finishing backing these PlayStyles up, she rarely misses.
Verdict
If you pack this card or complete her SBC, you have essentially secured one of the best attackers in FC 26. She feels like a cheat code. Her ability to dribble, pass, and shoot with both feet makes her superior to almost every other option on the market.
This is an “end game” level card. If you are looking for a striker or winger who can create goals out of nothing, TOTY Claudia Pina is the answer.
